It’s Captain America vs. Captain Caribbean and this is going to be fun.

Wright picked up the Captain America tag because of his tremendous clutch hitting in this tournament, already compiling 10 RBIs, tying a WBC record, while batting .438 with a .750 slugging percentage. When he showed up at the team breakfast yesterday, Wright was hit with some gentle ribbing from his USA mates.

“All the place cards on all the tables, they superimposed my head on Captain America,’’ the All-American boy said with a smile. “It was funny. I think these guys are about as tired of hearing it as everybody else.’’

That team joke, though, is a sure sign Team USA has bonded. Joe Torre’s club is coming off a 7-1 win over Puerto Rico, but can Team USA beat the highly touted Dominicans, who are undefeated in the tournament?

R.A. Dickey, who will start tonight for Team USA, is a man who knows much about superheroes and Wright, his former teammate. “I like the moniker, sure,’’ Dickey said. “He’s wearing it well. We don’t have a shield for him or anything.’’

Torre has raved about Wright the entire tournament and Cano was his second baseman with the Yankees.

“Sometimes, I don’t think New York realizes how lucky they are to have the players that they have had over the years,’’ Torre said. “Being a New Yorker myself, you sort of take it for granted.

“I grew up with three teams in New York, so you figure everybody watches somebody on TV every day. But two young players, and of course I think both of them ‑‑ which is not easy these days, because we’re so anxious to predict somebody is going to be a star — but these two guys have lived up to the advanced billing.

“The most impressive thing is the fact that they both play well under pressure.’’

Torre said Wright reminds him of Derek Jeter. Wright has even referred to his Team USA manager as Mr. Torre. Torre said the comparison rings true because of “the focus and the look in their eye when something important is happening.’’

Tony Pena, the Yankees bench coach, is managing the Dominican Republic. He knows how big this game is for his team. The ramifications go far beyond New York.

“It’s not only New York, this game is for the whole globe,’’ Pena said.

Cano’s numbers are from another world. He is batting .632 in the tournament with a 1.158 slugging percentage, a .632 on-base percentage and 22 total bases in 19 at-bats. He had high praise for Wright, too.

“He’s a great player and a great guy,’’ Cano said. “I played against him in the minor leagues and he always been the same guy, a guy who could hit it the other way.’’

Team USA has much respect for the Dominican Republic, but also much to prove.

“We’re kind of in a tough position,’’ Dickey said, “Because if we win, we should have. If we don’t, it’s an embarrassment. That’s kind of the role we accept when we take the challenge of being on this team.

“Everybody thinks this is America’s Game and if we don’t win, we should have. I think we all know what’s at stake.’’

Much is at stake in this New York battle taking place in South Florida. May the best superhero win.
